Scott and all,
I can't remember exactly where I saw this article but I clearly remember seeing that John Paul II said that he believes the Pope after him will be the one to assist the anti-christ. When I mention it others say they remember seeing it also but can't remember where either. As always it is good to have a balance point on fullfilment of prophesies for we can only imagine the interpretation but as the clouds get closer we will seee more clearly what kind of cloud it is and how fast it is coming.
The Lord be with you, Nancy

Scott, exactly what Martin warns of. Martin is now a traditional believer, but was big time Jesuit. Talk about how Christianity goes mad. That is the "Society of Jesus". The Jesuits. At the end of the l700 and well into the l800's I guess they were thrown out of the Catholic arena for some reason. Perhaps for being to Christian, I just don't know. They became amazingly spirit filled saints along the lines usually only found hundreds of years ago. Not to discount what happens now, but all lives are so very, very comfortable that most of us hear about and read about, the comparison is not quite the same to me. I do hold those who have suffered much in highest esteem. It's not fun to suffer much, and takes a lot of faith to hang in and keep suffering, know what I mean?

These brothers are the ones the movie the MIssion was made about. And of course barely captured in any way the personality or spirit of the men involves, and probably garbled history, but they all ended up rotting and dying in Spanish dungeons as a result, those that weren't killed. Amazing, amazing story of the Brothers of the Society of Jesus. Then a tiny handful came here in 1823, and one of the Pierre DeSmet, and 5 five other to a lesser degree, evangelized the entire Plains INdian network, including Sitting Bull, and all of that is buried and now we search and seach and search to try to find the mystery of what made the Sioux so "noble". Well, for starters they all sought the Master of Life and acknowledge the Father God in Heaven without particularly renaming Him to Englislh, as seems to be so necessary--our English words for everything. Ordained by God from the beginning of course, that one day He would at last be named in ENglish. Peierre didn't change them too much in anyway except that the habit of CHristian prayer meeting for decades flourished in some of the indian villages as Pierre would recount way past midnight many times, and he could hardly get some of them to stop praying and go to bed.

Anyway, I hate to bring up the pearl of the Plains INdians because I usually swooped down upon by maurauding Christians who don't llike the idea and call me a liar that I don't know these facts happen to be true and that I haven't studied it in excessive and ludicrous detail for at least 15 years. You know how that thing goes sometimes, and you pick up your pearl and wipe it off. You know.

I have a dreadful hunch on Paul II. I was expecting them to arrange a natural death. Very easy. Then I wondered if he was not purposely kept alive to continue to draw in the billions of people who genuinely love him. The last great carrot, as it were for all those rabbits. Then...well, it reminds me of the stock market. The carrot of all those billions reaching trillions of ordinary people's money. One good crash--a really good one, could wipe out everyting in one day. That bothers me. I've managed to work myself down to very little, and of course if it doesn't go back up I've learned a costly lesson I was warned against in investing strategies.

Anyway, yes, Paul. We should talk aboutthis more since the Pope will one day be something none of us are ready for apparently.

Theres several errors in here where I dropped words. I never have time to edit. Hope you get the point, if any is there..
